■ In the 1960 s, he wanted to create a brand of cars to be exported to the Mexican market using an anagram of "Neretti" (Nelletti), derived from the family name of Roland D ` Ieteren.
Roland D ` Ieteren had a fondness for cars, especially the VW brand.
The Neretti project created a two seater sports coupe with the VW Beetle chassis attached to the new body.
But the sports coupe was a far cry from the design of the VW Beetle chassis.
The 1, 584 cc four cylinder engine was inevitably positioned at the back of the car. At 54 horsepower, the car was able to accelerate to a maximum speed of about 140km/h.
It is unclear whether this speed was actually achieved, however, because there was only one copy of the streamlined fiberglass body attached to the VW chassis.
It was also planned to produce a large-scale sports car for sale in the Mexican market.
It was also planned to export single-component cars from Belgium to Mexico, make fiberglass bodies in Mexico, and undertake final assembly of cars in Central America, but that never happened.
Only one prototype of Nelletti exists today.
